抺茶下午茶
2014-03-16 4030 views
久仰大名，作為抺茶fans，途經上環，當然要黎拜會下。唔記得兩杯飲品叫咩。凍飲係類似抺茶lemonade，雖有茶香，但麻麻喜歡。熱飲有豆奶，菊花同蜜糖，比另一杯好，但始終覺得茶味偏淡。一場黎試抺茶，冇諗過最好食係banana toffee pudding。香蕉同toffee比例剛好，味道互相輝映，襯到絕！ 有時toffee pudding會做到好甜，li個一D都唔溜，加埋vanilla ice cream，反而有點fresh添。店員笑說成枱都係綠色。loaf cake唔錯，蛋糕鬆軟，微甜中帶點甘香，食完口腔仍有抺茶餘韻，令人回味。心太軟冇預期出色。外層蛋糕偏硬，而且切開只有好少流心流出黎，可能焗耐左。味道都唔錯既，但有點失望。環境舒適，古色古香，周圍放左唔同擺設，心情放鬆，過左個悠閒既下午。

 一場黎試抺茶，冇諗過最好食係banana toffee pudding。香蕉同toffee比例剛好，味道互相輝映，襯到絕！
 有時toffee pudding會做到好甜，li個一D都唔溜，加埋vanilla ice cream，反而有點fresh添。

 loaf cake唔錯，蛋糕鬆軟，微甜中帶點甘香，食完口腔仍有抺茶餘韻，令人回味。

    Matcha Heaven?
    2014-01-15 2958 views
    As I had some girlfriends visiting from out of town, I arranged a gathering for 4 of us at Sinmei Tea as I was attracted by the matcha desserts here and thought it would be a great hang out spot for us to catch up! I had made a reservation for 3pm on Sunday ahead of time, and when we got there, we had to wait 15-20 minutes for the people sitting at our table to finish up.

    As I had some girlfriends visiting from out of town, I arranged a gathering for 4 of us at Sinmei Tea as I was attracted by the matcha desserts here and thought it would be a great hang out spot for us to catch up! I had made a reservation for 3pm on Sunday ahead of time, and when we got there, we had to wait 15-20 minutes for the people sitting at our table to finish up. It was not a big problem except that the elevator area we were waiting in was really hot and stuffy, and this was already in the winter. Finally the waitress had to ask the people to leave as we were waiting. Thank goodness!

    Once inside, the cafe was quite airy as partition to the balcony was open. There were some random decorations of traditional Chinese tea pots and tea cups all around while the furnitures were mismatching and haphazard. For example, our table was a coffee table instead of a dining table so it was low in height and we had to hunch over to eat. One side of the table had a Chinese wooden bench with a back while the other side had two tiny stools which were the same height as the table. So two of us had to sit on those stools for the entire time we were there, which was hardly comfortable and relaxing. 

    On the plus side, the cafe has a cat so it will roam around while you eat! It was sleeping on a regal-looking chair when I got there so it looked quite majestic. The poor cat got awoken and kicked off though when new customers arrived.

     Onto the matcha drinks and desserts - both of which I was quite looking forward to trying! There was an array of hot and cold matcha drinks on the menu but the names weren't really that descriptive so we had to ask our waitress to explain. She just told us that basically all the drinks had green tea and milk with different proportions, which wasn't all that helpful.

     The dessert menu only had green tea chocolate fondant on it while the rest of the cakes were apparently at their counter. When I went to check it out, there were only 2 selections left which was the green tea loaf cake and banana toffee pudding! When I asked about their angel cake and cheesecake, I was informed that they had run out of angel cake. Bummer! That was the one dessert that I really wanted to try. Since there weren't many dessert choices, we ended up ordering all that they had to try.

     Matcha Soul ($32) - this hot drink looked very pretty with sprinkles of almond, osmanthus and honey. It was quite sweet with hints of green tea and milk flavor, but nothing special as the flavors didn't blend together that well.

     Matcha Snow White ($42) - this drink was pretty disappointing. It was supposed to be green tea and milk with ice cream on top. When I took a sip, the bottom layer was bland and watery with little matcha flavor. The ice cream did not mix with drink at all until the very end after it finally melted towards the end of our meal. I didn't know whether I was supposed to just eat the ice cream or try to mix it into the drink. I did take bites of it but it was just like eating vanilla ice cream.

     Green Tea Chocolate Fondant ($78) - the dessert we were all looking forward to! The fondant was baked perfectly as the outside was slightly toasted while the insides spilled out like a lava. The flavors were rich with matcha flavor but not too sweet while the vanilla ice cream was a nice enhancement to the flavors of the fondant. A very good dessert overall!

     Green Tea Cheesecake ($40) - the cheesecake was really tiny! It came with layer of meringue on top. The cheesecake was really dense and hard to eat. I prefer my cheesecakes to be creamier and richer. The flavors were just okay as the matcha flavor wasn't that strong and the meringue didn't go together with the cheesecake that well either.

     Green Tea Loaf Cake ($29) - I found the loaf cake to be a bit dry and tough while the flavors were not memorable at all. It was neither fragrant or moist, and the whipped cream did not help either.

     Banana Toffee Pudding ($38) - ironically, we thought that their best dessert was a non-matcha one which was their banana toffee pudding. The pudding was very chewy and moist while it was fragrant with the smell of banana and toffee. The flavors were rich with the right amount of sweetness which went well with the ice cream.

     Conclusion - I found my experience at Sinmei Tea to be a bit mixed with their food and drink as well as the environment. Some of the desserts were quite good while others were just average. I was just not that impressed with the overall quality of their food. The cafe was also not as cozy and quaint as I'd thought it would be. I thought it would look like a traditional tea cafe, but it didn't quite pull it off with the random-looking chairs and tables. It wasn't really comfortable either, especially if you had to sit on those stools for hours.

      文化高茶體驗~Sinmei Tea
      2013-09-01 71 views
      因為OP,才知道"川善茶居"的存在,也因為蘋果茶是個切切實實的抹茶控,所以實在沒有不去的理由。週末的下午,想要找一個地方不擁擠不吵鬧地靜靜享受Hightea,想就已經很難,要到人氣咖啡店或茶居,更加要付出排隊的代價,早在一個多星期前,打電話到"川善"訂位,但也要等到下午4時,到達的時候,小小的店內已經滿座,門外還有walk in等位的人客,幸好,我們只等待十分鐘左右。"川善茶居"明符其實就是一個中西合璧的"茶居",裝潢擺設也是茶壺﹑茶具﹑茶葉,最吸引目光的應該是大型的酸枝櫃和古琴,好有古董氣息啊~滿滿的中國味,夾雜著其他現代和英國古典座椅,形成了強烈的對比,大概是因為,享受"高茶"的樂趣,不論是中式還是西式也一樣寫意吧。招呼我們的是店主Sinmei,她禮貌的笑容很親切,我們不諳茶道,她介紹我們喝中國茶單樅,據說單樅茶是產於潮州鳳凰山,富紅茶味卻又帶綠茶的清新芳香,味道甘醇,茶香且濃。過了15分鐘左右,用中式籠子放好的Tea Set份外搶眼,面層是甜的:Vegan Apple Cake,GreenTea Loaf Cake,Green Tea Angel Cake,Green Tea C

       "川善茶居"明符其實就是一個中西合璧的"茶居",
      裝潢擺設也是茶壺﹑茶具﹑茶葉,
      最吸引目光的應該是大型的酸枝櫃和古琴,
      好有古董氣息啊~滿滿的中國味,
      夾雜著其他現代和英國古典座椅,形成了強烈的對比,
      大概是因為,
      享受"高茶"的樂趣,不論是中式還是西式也一樣寫意吧。

       招呼我們的是店主Sinmei,
      她禮貌的笑容很親切,
      我們不諳茶道,她介紹我們喝中國茶單樅,
      據說單樅茶是產於潮州鳳凰山,
      富紅茶味卻又帶綠茶的清新芳香,
      味道甘醇,茶香且濃。

       過了15分鐘左右,
      用中式籠子放好的Tea Set份外搶眼,
      面層是甜的:Vegan Apple Cake,GreenTea Loaf Cake,Green Tea Angel Cake,Green Tea Cheese Cake,
      下層是鹹的:Tofu Toast,Sandwich,
      我們先嚐鹹的,三文治夾著蕃茄和菜,很清新,
      豆腐吐司看名字會以為比較單調,
      其實豆腐上加上水牛芝士,蕃茄醬,底層還加上菠菜,
      這種配搭使我不其然想起西式的班尼迪蛋,這是變湊版麼?!
      熱騰騰香脆的多士,味道出奇地配合。

       GreenTea Loaf Cake像雪芳蛋糕,
      外表平平無奇,
      但少少的甜味和抹茶的芳香,隱隱滲透其中,
      蘋果茶用來醮另上的小杯忌廉吃,增加了蛋糕的軟滑度。

       Vegan Apple Cake原來是素食蛋糕,
      蘋果少甜沒酸味,夾著蘋果蓉,底部鬆脆,
      抹茶味道原來和蘋果也能那麼匹配,
      比起平日吃過的蘋果批,少了膩口的飽滯感覺,
      蘋果茶大愛這個款式。

       Green Tea Angel Cake,比起平日雪白的天使蛋糕.
      全個變成綠色的,抹茶迷當然暗暗歡喜,
      連面層的滑滑忌廉也富綠茶味道,徹底得難以抗拒,
      但底層的蛋糕略嫌未夠鬆軟。

       Green Tea Cheese Cake,應該是最具綠茶味的一款,
      入口先是抹茶的甘,再來會是芝士蛋糕的濃香綿密,
      因為茶香,也減了cheese cake本來的滯膩,
      蛋糕頂的雪白忌廉,用火熗輕微灼過,
      有點焦糖蛋白的口感,
      加上底部消化餅底的香脆,
      一件蛋糕滿足多重味覺,討好~~!!!
      最後,我們再點一款鐵觀音茶作結,
      細心的Sinmei還為我們轉另一張桌,
      可以熱著茶慢慢享受茗茶之樂。

      中國的茶道,和很多中國文化一樣,
      在愈來愈現代化的社會之中,慢慢被忽略,
      中西合壁的cafe帶起熱潮,
      也應該讓我們好好學習一下,
      細心感受源遠流長，博大精深的茶道文化。

        2012-09-04 26 views
        是日為中小學生開學日，但我仍有一星期暑假。趁暑假尚未結束，特意到川善茶居品一試我最喜愛的抹茶。由於是星期一的下午茶時段，客人不算多，只有3-4人。茶居充滿中國氣息，中式家具擺放著林林總總的茶餅及茶具。店員有善地叫我選擇位置。可惜的是，店員未算十分主動。當我想點餐時，看不到男店員在哪裡，而女店員則一直坐在一旁休息(我還以為她是顧客)...直到我動身往蛋糕櫃走時女店員才問我是否點菜。以上環來說，飲品食物價錢相宜，大多約$30-40左右~多款抹茶飲品令人心大心細。最後選擇了推介的matcha soul。 至於蛋糕方面，亦有多種選擇，賣相不錯。我選了green tea loaf cake ~ Matcha Soul ~ 桂花加進抹茶豆奶，帶一點點桂花香而不會蓋過抹茶味。面層加了一層蜜糖，未喝前害怕會太過甜和膩；幸好只是微微的甜味。我曾試過mcdonald's 的抹茶豆奶，這杯豆奶味道較mcdonald's的淡，卻不失豆香，更配合抹茶清香。底層還有一些杏仁和提子乾，口感豐富。green tea loaf cake 熱呼呼的~ 牛油味香，非常鬆軟香口。不過，可能先喝matcha soul的關係，覺

        3款蛋糕當中，抹茶cup cake抹茶味最濃郁，但我認為較甜。vegan apple cake 味道很好~ 蘋果和肉桂味濃，不會太甜太酸，可惜抹茶不夠，被蘋果肉桂味搶掉了。
